Daryl Barron, a Fianna Fáil councillor and Dublin City Council group leader, defends a controversial budget approving rent increases for social housing. He explains the impact on various income levels, emphasizing protections for lower earners. In contrast, Conor Reddy, a People Before Profit Solidarity councillor, argues that these hikes will heavily burden HAP recipients and propose a rates rebate scheme to fund housing needs. The debate ignites over who really bears the cost and if tenants will accept these changes or push back.
